The next testflight after the next appstore release will be purple only! Purple members will have access to newer features early and this will help get around the 10,000 testflight user limit issue.

Non members will still have access to all the latest features each appstore release 🤙

Oiiii Will, where’s my ‘fren’ instead of ‘following’ like you said??

Had to revert it for now because it was breaking tons of localization tests. Drunk coding isn’t always a walk in the park.

😭 I’m heartbroken!

There’s some complications with that lol.

Liking the perks already sats well spent

Already paying dividends!

Curious, how does this work if AppStore doesn’t collect data? Provide npub for TestFlight sign up and cross reference with lightning invoices for purple payment?

We will create a new testflight group with a custom invite code, The damus purple ui will open an invite link when you click it.

Simply brilliant. This idea is gold.

Funding model secured.

This is how its done 🤙

putting formerly free features behind a paywall? Sounds fiat! Totally kidding, keep up the fire dev work 🤙🏼

I keep getting the follow some people prompt when I open the App. If I skip the next time the app launches I get it again.

I think early access makes sense.

The next identical unit of software is at practically zero cost to produce and is NOT SCARCE and not an economic good. However, the next non-identical unit IS SCARCE as it needs to be produced via labor.

Subscribers have first access to the next non-identical unit. If subscibers don't value the next more than the previous, they will likely unsubscribe. Therefore any issues or features that are valued by subscribers will likely be prioritized.

Also, I think this can be done entirely with free/libre software; no need for centralized markets (like for iOS) or non-free software. It can be with authentication for downloading releases as well as with encrypted releases and a shared key only sent to subscribers, for early access. That same release will LATER be released as normal.

How do you get purple without red, blue and yellow?

I missed the first test flight and thus am not yet purple. Are you saying that when I can get a purple membership, I can get test flight as well?

Great work Will 🤙

Nice incentives! Well played 👏

Sweet. Makes sense.

Brilliant idea

Interesting approach.

I use Android phone. Please make something for Android

Weird bug experienced today… not really sure what triggered it.

Lmk if you figure out how to consistently recreate

this happened ever since i joined damus

something to do with switching in-between apps

Steps and screenrecord to reproduce?

appears at random, difficult to recreate

my guess is the space from keyboard remains

Indeed, happens when switching from app to app, I have seen it travel to youtube fyi

I also use a Grammarly keyboard )(hard to tell I know)
